No Results.......

I checked on SWMOTO where I get my tires and they have no Metzeler reinforced tires listed specifically for the LT as they have in the past. What's Up? Are they not going to make the LT tire anymore?

If you go to the international site the search function lists them in the fitment search engine. I think it is just the fitments search function on the US site is hosed up because the tires are still listed in the list of ME880 sizes. On the US site select "Tire Info" and then pick ME880. The following tire models are in the list and are the correct tires for the 99-03 model LTs:

Front - 120/70B17TL 58V ME880F
Rear - 160/70B17M/C REINFTL 79V ME880

Thanks Jim...I had the sizes but all the info was not listed.


Got this from SWMOTO:


Do you not have the 120/70 58V reinforced and 160/70 79V reinforced for the 99 K1200LT anymore?

Thank you,

Sure I do , I dont spell out REINFORCED or many of the other 300 letters and numbers on the side of the tires.
the part numbers you seek are 110-10448 and 11010447
I would put K1200lt out beside the listing but there are other bikes that use that tire also.
